A Naughty Dog developer accidentally revealed Sony’s plan’s to release cross game voice chat (similar to 360’s party) in their next firmware update. In a PlayStation forum under the name “ReklissAbandon”, the developer accidentally revealed the feature when talking about the unfair advantages teams get when using Skype in Uncharted 2 multiplayer.

Here is what he/she said:

“I think they wanted people to have fun and ejoy [sic] the show since all dead players can talk to each other no matter what team you are on. But I will suggest it anyway. Not to mention that the next PS3 firmware update is going to allow cross game chat. So if players use that instead of in-game communication then they would also be able to communicate enemies [sic] positions…”

The message was eventually deleted, but it has intrigued PS3 users everywhere. It seems that this is the year Sony can’t keep a secret. It is expected that both updates come sometime before year’s end.
